That sounds like a pretty good deal. I don't know I've ever heard
of paying the lease up front. What's the advantage of that?

These days my biggest problem is not driving my car enough.
So far it hasn't caused me any problems but I usually only use
my car one day every 2 weeks for my shopping and any other
appointments. I try to keep organized..   B)

Otherwise I stay close to home and walk, jog or bicycle anyplace
I have to go, usually just out for mail which is about a mile
from the house. I only put about 1000 miles a year on my car if
nothing unusual requires a longer trip.
